Researchers conclude "there was no significant change in [bone density]," further scans are not needed, and trans kids should have their own reference group https://twitter.com/will_malone/status/1148000551608750080 …

I think nearly all trans kids have mature gametes by the time they start blockers or cross-sex hormones? Gametes mature early, thus how some ten-year-olds can get pregnant. Definitely agree we should automatically preserve gametes as part of the standard of care for trans kids.

Nope, neither males nor females produce mature gametes sans puberty. Some children become pregnant at age 10 because some children go through puberty prior to age 10.
